Synopsis

“Battlestar Galactica meets Master and Commander.” With human civilization on the brink of collapse from famine, privateer Captain Cassandra Farren seeks to escape her troubled military past by signing up for the Avalon Expedition - a desperate multi-national mission to explore a distant nebula in search of life-saving resources, led by the energetic and optimistic Doctor Elizabeth Ancelet. Cassandra, Elizabeth, and their crews face not only division within the Expedition itself, but an unexpected new threat: a fanatical alien race who will stop at nothing to eliminate outsiders. Grounded in a rich sci-fi universe inspired by the age of sail, The Sojourn is an epic interstellar adventure told entirely through audio, with a cast of veteran voice actors, immersive sound effects, and a sweeping original soundtrack. “The Sojourn is a melange of rich storytelling, superb sound effects, and well-written characters that sound so real it's like you're in the shuttle beside them. There's a lot to enjoy in this immersive, fun audiodrama." - Jeremy Szal “It's my first audiodrama and it sets the bar very high! Really high quality sound effects and talented voice actors bring the story to life like nothing else.” - Matterbeam, ToughSF Starring Larissa Thompson as Captain Cassandra Farren, Emily Serdahl as Director Elizabeth Ancelet, Laura Faye Smith as Tamara Melari, Ben Prendergast as Mathias Croft, Stephen Trafford as Inquisitor Castian Vadric, also featuring Matthew Kaufman as Lieutenant Jasper Ravi, and Lelia Symington as Empress Valendra the Sixth. Written by Daniel Orrett, sound design and audio editing by Kennedy Phillips, music by Sam Redfern.Transcripts available here: https://www.thesojournaudiodrama.com/transcripts

Goodreads review by Brock on November 18, 2021

An amazind audio drama with a devoted cast of high quality voices and sound effects. The story and universe are true to genre, but don't pave their own path in ways that stand out. Still though, the polish of the production is astounding. Like old radio plays or Doctor Who Audio drama's, we need mor......more

Goodreads review by Susan on November 15, 2021

The Sojourn has that wonderful epic feel to it while also maintaining a small cast of characters. Humanity is desperate for a new infusion of resources and the end of the latest war has left everyone drained. Now there’s a new mystery to explore and the Avalon Expedition is off to do just that. The s......more
